Only Trajan Langdon and Steve Wojciechowski have started more games this season than Chappell, who has quietly blossomed into the type of player that personifies Duke's success in the '90s: tall, athletic, graceful, and wielding a potent perimeter touch and an ability to finish in transition. At 6'8", he has the ability to guard any of the Tar Heels' starters but Antawn Jamison. Chappell is seventh on the team in minutes played, which explains why he is often overlooked, but he has shown a knack for making a big play when this team really needs one. —S.D.

His game is now completely balanced, inside and outside. His three-point stroke is the second-best among the regulars, after Shammond Williams's. But Carter's greatest emotional value comes against zones, when Antawn Jamison sets a backscreen, Ed Cota flicks a lob and Carter, his man now but a burr on Jamison's jersey, flushes the business end of the pass. (And no, you fans of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., he's not married to a woman named Bunny.) —A.W.
